Morning - I have installed the base software and am now using CDH to complete the next stage.  I am using the recommended installation approach (I have also tried installing via packages) and keep coming up against the same problem - the installation stalls at the JDK stage.  I have followed the manuals and removed the default IBM Java package and clean installed the latest 7u45 package from Oracle.  Still no progress.  Any help gratefully received.   Thanks   Damon   Her's the output from the installation process:     /tmp/scm_prepare_node.31t207er using SSH_CLIENT to get the SCM hostname: 92.60.105.99 13267 22 opening logging file descriptor Starting installation script...
